The Australian Bush Fire Appeal

Tragedy has struck Australia is the form of one of the most devastating bush fires in the country's history.



Hailing from Sydney, I am relieved that NSW has escaped the brunt of the fires, but am still shocked and saddened by the vast devastation and the death toll of 170 + (and still increasing). Homes have been burnt to the ground and townships completely wiped out.



A group of Aussies on Etsy have set up the following Etsy store called OzBushFireAppeal, where donated items from fellow Etsy sellers will be sold and all proceeds to be sent to the Australian Red Cross:

Please check this store out!



Alternatively, please contact Emma at OzBushFireAppeal to makea donation...or donate directly to the Australian Red Cross!

Earrings: More briolette madness!

Continuing to indulge my fascination with briolettes =)

Just a quick note: Each piece is made to order, and hand made - I have sore fingers to prove it! Hence, there will be very slight variations from photos but this means that every piece is unique. If you'd like different colours in the crystals/beads used, just ask!

No. 4: Chandelier Tears

Inspired by a hanging chandelier, this pair of earrings features carefully handwrapped Swarovski crystals and faceted crystal briolettes suspended from a "hanging" gold plated casting.

Should you prefer a different colour combination, I'm happy to customise it.

Price: SOLD!

No. 5: Feather Chandelier

Amber crystal faceted briolettes suspended from handwrapped Swarovski crystal strands featuring alternating dark red and purple crystals. Focal piece is a vintage brass feather stamping - of which I only have enough to make 2 pairs!

Price: $40 USD

Earrings: "Waterfall of Butterflies"

No.2: "Waterfall of Butterflies" Earrings

A stunning pair of earrings that instantaneously brightens up a simple outfit or adds just some more bling to an already glamorous one!

I found these amazing gorgeous tiny little gold butterflies in a vintage stash and thought they looked so pretty together. So I created a 'waterfall' of 14K gold chain and these butterflies as earrings. I added a mixed strand of Swarovski crystals, 14K gold fill beads and fire-polished Czech beads as a focus. AB clear and dark crystal briolettes add the finishing touches to this unique masterpiece.

I only have enough of these butterflies to make 3 pairs!
If you are interested in a silver pair with silver butterflies, I am able to custom make it for you.

Price: $40 USD
